One Sacred Effort: The Cooperative Program of Southern Baptists

I bought this book for my own edification. It is very detailed and met my expectations. It does seem to be written more for classroom use, but I don't know that it actually is. I would have given it another star but it is a little wordy, could have been written a bit more succinctly, and doesn't cover everything i.e. doesn't deal with local conventions. I would buy this book again but it would bee nice to have a list of available resources to keep current.

This book is great for knowledge of the Southern Baptist Cooperative program. I do, however, wish the authors would have been a little less theologically complex. The complexity of some of the chapters can easily confuse, and often bore the reader, and I have to admit I was expecting a little more user-friendly approach to reading this.

A really good read for a Southern Baptist on Missionary work of the church. I definitely recommend this book.

A well written and concise his of SB and the development of the CP. Then it gets bogged down trying to argue for its existence as the reason for Southern Baptist.

One of the driest books ever written. He doesn't even get to the point until CHAPTER FIVE! It was such a frustrating read for me. If professors want us to really retain information they should pick books that don't zone us out and put us to sleep! I did get a lot out of the class but this book was a ZERO!

Great history and great model still today

Really lets you know religious histories, comparisons and why Baptist are who we are.

Very good information about the southern baptist convention
